People wonder why the sports dying when you’ve got people like him. 

At the end of the day I hardly think people are not going to watch speedway because Nathan Ablitt has had an 8 percent reduction!! The sports struggling for a host of other reasons!!

Always going to be Lambo I suppose. I get it when we need a 4pt+ rider so lets hope he can find some form and prove an inspired pick?

Looking at the fixtures I do think we are in for some testing times until the first green sheet averages. Redcar and then Poole at home look tough to me. Both have riders who go well at the EWR. So I think we are going to have to take the hit over the initial weeks. Away is a worry and Pickers is going to be busy. 6 rides min home and away but should be worth watching. 

Theres going to be changes for sure. I think Voulas will arrive at Scunny in May. Too good a Championship rider to be missing out and available as Comets are not using him. 

We wont be winning any silverware as it stands. I'm usually not one for making changes. But this team looks ripe for it from design and speedway being speedway enforced change as the season unfolds. 

We're going to find out thats a fact.

Think they used the same equation that they used to get Max Perry into your Ndl team a few years ago . Don't seem to remember a great debate on that

Come on now let’s not 😂 

Two completely different situations in a two completely different leagues. Let’s not start trying to compare apples with pears.
